FebXcyclothon : Be a climate catalyst.

 

FebXcyclothon is a weekend virtual cycling event (Saturday and Sunday) that will happen in all the weekends of February. First 3 winners will be announced in the fourth week of the month.


Winners will be identified based on the highest kilometer cycled during the defined time. Participants will be required to share their ride details using any of the mobile apps such as MapMyRun, Runkeeper, Fitbit etc. which supports sharing ride data as a public GPS activity link.

 

It will be an unique event as it will debunk the misconceptions that we need to take big step for climate change. It will encourage youth’s participants and community in large to realize them that “individual action matters”. Knowledge of these small activities can have profound impact through behavior change; a few adoptable activities that will be promoted are:

  • ·         Setting air conditioner at 28 degrees Celsius
  • ·         Replacing incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs
  • ·         Replacing disposable cups with reusable
  • ·         Cycling or walking over other transportation

The activity will contribute in realizing the objectives of ACEF by giving an exceptional opportunity to create positive changes in Bihar by bridging the knowledge gap.
